This "graceful, captivating" (New York Times Book Review) story from a singular new talent paints a portrait of grief and the search for meaning as told through the prism of three generations of her Chinese American family—perfect for readers of Helen Macdonald and Elizabeth Alexander. Kat Chow has always been unusually fixated on death. She worried constantly about her parents dying---especially her mother. A vivacious and mischievous woman, Kat's mother made a morbid joke that would haunt her for years to come: when she died, she'd like to be stuffed and displayed in Kat's future apartment in order to always watch over her. After her mother dies unexpectedly from cancer, Kat, her sisters, and their father are plunged into a debilitating, lonely grief. With a distinct voice that is wry and heartfelt, Kat weaves together a story of the fallout of grief that follows her extended family as they emigrate from China and Hong Kong to Cuba and America. Seeing Ghosts asks what it means to reclaim and tell your family’s story: Is writing an exorcism or is it its own form of preservation? The result is an extraordinary new contribution to the literature of the American family, and a provocative and transformative meditation on who we become facing loss.

This novel is an epic tale of power, romance, and tragedy set in a mythical land between ancient China and Mongolia, a land ruled by the Chow-Chows who are a hybrid breed of bear and dog. This land is coveted and invaded by the local warlord, Prince Prospero, who, using a group of mercenaries, manages to penetrate the chow heartland with the help of a renegade chow. The invasion results in the death of the Chow king and the mercenaries are forced to flee, pursued by the avenging chows. A full-scale war follows between the Chows and the humans. The Chows unite the whole of the four-legged animal world to their cause including wolves, lions, and tigers. There then follows an epic struggle between the two forces with the advantage swinging between both sides with the result uncertain until the very end.
